Youngsters get taste of football at Mount Dora Bible camp

July 9, 2011

MOUNT DORA — Ryan Scott, 7, strikes a menacing expression this week during the Mount Dora Christian Home and Bible School football camp for kids in kindergarten through second grade. During the camp, the youngsters worked on the basics — sprinting at a tackle bag bigger than the tallest child and learning how to throw a football with one hand. "One of the big things we want them to learn is football is fun," said Stephen Cochran, Mount Dora Bible's football coach, who ran the camp. "I think this is a brand-new experience for most of them, if not all of them."
